63. thank you for your thoughtful response
my use of the word anointed was poorly chosen, i'll admit. the primaries will continue, of course. my plea is to Iowan and the folks in NH to protect my vote and the votes of everyone who can't vote until after march. quick early wins by any candidate will
truncate the process and i don't want to see that happen.

the bush we oppose today may not be the bush we oppose in november.
there are too many things that could change in the interim. given that, i think it's foolish to lock ourselves into a candidate this early in the process.

i know many people who are new to politics feel it's all over now. they don't realize that traditionally, the primaries WERE the process by which we choose. i realize that things have changed but what has really happened so far? only the money raising and not the voting or the vetting. i fear we make a BIG mistake if we settle on who can raise the most money as the criteria for victory.

i'm hoping that people who may not yet be sure will vote for the process to continue so we can see continue to watch and see who the best man is.

again, thank you for your response. and please don't take this in any manner other than completely sincerely. any chance i get to speak with a dean supporter who is willing to share their thoughts and offer something more than attacks or "POOP" i am heartened. it helps remind me that there are good, intelligent people in the dean team.
